New NIQ
Bradley Roberts has been called up to the Welsh Autumn International Squad. If capped he will become an NIQ...

Re: New NIQ
Hmm.
Personally I don’t see him with an international future with Ire. Surely if capped by Wales (with a future) it’d make sense him being within the welsh system. Big decision for him. Also a decision coming down the line for UR. Personally I’d want another backrow as an NIQ, or IQ for that matter not a hooker.

Any injury whatsoever at 2, and he’s right in the mix.

Re: New NIQ
Can you blame him? A shot at international rugby, that said he’ll be punished by playing for a tom kite region in the league. All the best to him. Does however lay open the risk of multi eligible journey players. Does give a few weeks re emergency planning.
Re: New NIQ
His throwing is poor but he runs hard and straight.

Re: New NIQ
He had a mare with the throwing in the game he started. Other than that his throws have been very accurate I thought.

Apart from vs Connacht last weekend
Re: New NIQ
Stats are not favourable to him. Lineout was solid until he came on versus Connacht.

Re: New NIQ
No disrespect to him but Ken Owens gets injured and Wales are calling up Roberts? They must be in a bad way. A Welsh cap and a half decent contract with a Welsh Region from next season would be some gig for him.

Re: New NIQ
He’ll get more than 1 cap. Owens is old and after him they’ve no-one standing out

Re: New NIQ
Fair play to him, but he's not going to have a long term future with Ulster unless he's IQ. It's a big stretch to see him as more than a bit part player for Wales.
Re: New NIQ
Wales originally had 2 x Scarlets hookers and the Dragons lad in original squad. Dee (Dragons) dropped out and Myhill from Cardiff called up. They then lose Owens and Roberts gets the nod. Injury cover for tomorrow. Elias starts, Myhill on bench. No local guys from Ospreys clearly at the required standard.
